With this agreement, GLS Spain is leading the change in the way parcels are delivered and received, offering a flexible and close solution to platform members.
Madrid, January 17th, 2024 – In an effort to lead the change in the way parcels are delivered and received, GLS Spain has entered into a strategic partnership with Vinted, the leading second-hand clothing retail portal, which has a community of more than 8.5 million registered members in Spain. From now on, GLS Spain becomes one of the service providers for Vinted and offers the platform’s users a flexible and close delivery solution.
This agreement between the two companies allows Vinted members to access GLS Spain’s extensive network of convenience points, with more than 5,300 Parcel Shops, offering an alternative to home delivery and collection. An option that is gaining more and more followers, which reinforces GLS Spain’s presence in the private (C2C) market with the Parcel Shop to Parcel Shop formula. Through this model, all deliveries, collections and returns are consolidated through the extensive GLS Spain network, thus promoting the advantages of Out Of Home (OOH) deliveries. This trend is experiencing steady growth due to its time flexibility, convenience and contribution to a more sustainable last mile.
As Luis Doncel, Group Region MD Iberia & Ireland, comments, the agreement with Vinted means “strategic collaboration with a brand that promotes the circular economy with values such as reuse and resale. At GLS Spain we also defend the preservation of our environment with solutions such as Parcel Shops, offering a network of proximity and deliveries that will now also be available to Vinted users”.
Vinted is present in 20 European countries and other territories. Members will now be able to choose GLS Parcel Shops in Spain as the delivery and collection point for their purchases, enjoying the freedom of being able to decide when and where they want to receive their parcels.
